Christian Saldivar of Hendersonville took a chance on a $30 scratch-off and won a $1 million top prize.

Saldivar bought his lucky MAX-A-MILLION ticket from Citistop on Dana Road in Hendersonville.

When Saldivar arrived at lottery headquarters Friday, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $430,508.

The MAX-A-MILLION game debuted in March with 25 top prizes of $1 million and 10 prizes of $100,000. Twenty-three $1 million prizes and 10 $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
